House Bill 369 amends the Family Code to require a petition in a suit for adoption of a child to state that the court in which the petition is filed has jurisdiction of the suit. The bill requires a court that has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of a suit affecting a parent-child relationship to transfer the proceedings to a court that is located in the child's county of residence and in which a suit for adoption of the child is pending on the filing of a motion requesting the transfer.
